*4 años

It is so amazing to see how a child develops in 4 short years!! We enjoy Vera so incredibly much - it is so fun to see her still-sweet innocence and naivety, her joy, her curiosity, her silliness and her eagerness to learn. She can now swing all by herself, sound out 3 letter words [they have to be small: she tried to sound out the l-a-d-d-e-r phonics flashcard, gave up and guessed "window"!], get the stuff out and make a pbj, write Bunny, Mommy, Daddy, Edie and Vera, add small numbers [really small] ..... it's all truly amazing and so much fun.

She spends much of her time "making a stage," dressing up, making tents and forts, reading books, coloring and making things for her friends, playing in her sandbox, making a picnic, pretending it's Bunny's birthday, looking in Edie's toes for toe jam [yes that is gross], tickling Edie and trying to hug her.

Here she was dressed up, dressing up all her stuffed animals so they could get in a train to go to ballet class where she would be the teacher.

Here she was at UNO DOS and TRES años. It just took me like an hour to look up those links -it's so easy to get diverted reading back on the blog! I love it. I really really need to get it printed out somehow in case the internet collapses.
